7 DD filter
7.1 Maintenance
When maintaining the filter, keep in mind the following:
• On filters with manual drain valve, open the latter at regular intervals to evacuate collected dust or liquid
• Change the filter element yearly or when the pressure drop reaches approx. 0.35 bar
• In case an automatic drain valve is installed, manual draining can be carried out by turning the connection
nipple of the automatic drain valve counterclockwise.
•
When the filter has to process air with a temperature higher than the specified maximum
temperature, the filter's lifetime will be reduced considerably!
7.2 Filter element change
Procedure
When maintaining the filter, keep in mind the following:
1. Isolate the filter from the air net.
2. Depressurize the filter by turning the connection nipple of the automatic drain valve counterclockwise or

the bowl should be screwed back and the venting should be repeated.
4. Discard the old filter element.

8. Position the cartridge under the filter head and push it in place. Only touch the plactic bag. Avoid contact
